His third time. We can see who here is "lying to you all to feel more important".
I am close to Bruce than my own brother.
look man I'm not trying to feel important at all, I did my time in Iraq yes.
my point was that his letter was one of two things, either he made it up(I don't think he did) or he is not using common sense. by that last statement I mean that families spend long nights back here at home worrying about their Marine, Soldier, Sailor, or Airman over in the desert. It helps them not in the least to send back anything that makes it appear to be more dangerous.
my main point was they worry enough, take that as you will.
having said that I don't want any of our military to be hurt at all combat or non-combat. so maybe Bruce is more important than me because he has went 3 times and I only went once, the Marine Corps decided these things for me, everyone who joined the military after Sept.11 volunteered to go into combat.
